FXWitz Flash SlideShow Editor

Quirky but quick, this program compiles digital photographs into Flash slide shows. You can choose from plenty of effects and templates, which makes the process go fairly fast; we built a slide show from 50 pictures in about three minutes, start to finish. Other tricks include zooming into pictures during a slide show, setting the speed of animation and pictures, or adding comments or captions to pictures. The program is set up in stages, so it essentially walks you through the process of creating a slide show. A couple quirks we didn't like: the dialog-box text is far too small to read, and a lot of the words in the program are misspelled. Silly developer, use a spelling checker! Overall, however, this is a solid program for Flash slide shows.
